Our Packing Helper

In November, we found out that Paul got the District Trainer Position in Michigan. It felt like the pressure was on Paul and Me. We had to decide when we would be moving to Michigan. Secondly, we had to find an apartment, and thirdly, I had to find and OB/GYN for the rest of my pregnancy (harder than you would think). Most OB/GYN's won't take new patients who are 6 months along.
What kept us in good spirits was Aedhan. He was always eager to help us pack. The below pictures are of Aedhan packing up his magnets off of the fridge.
I'm ready to get started!!

Lego Man Aedhan

Another one of Aedhan's favorite things to do is build with his Lego's. At first it was just building things and now, it is building and knocking them down.

Kimono Aedhan

When Aedhan was born, Uncle Andre's fiance Sanae wanted to make him a kimono. Sanae lives in Japan and is waiting to come to the U.S., and Uncle Andre travels a lot for the Vatican Bank as an economic prefect. It took us quite some time to get this from Uncle Andre. Two years later here it is and Aedhan will pass it onto Cashew. Ultra Man is one Paul's favorite Japanese Monster shows from his childhood. We can't wait til Aunt Sanae comes back to the U.S., and we can thank her.

Our Sleeping Bubba

As I watched Aedhan sleeping, I reiminecsed back to the time when Aedhan was born. I remembered the sleepless nights, the smiles on his face, and the rewards of the time we spent together. The realization came to me that it was worth giving up my job to be with him, and that I couldn't wait for the same bonding moments with "Cashew." There is nothing better than the love you get from your child.

I Love CARS

Aedhan's first task whenever he sees a newspaper is to take the car section or the classifieds and to look for all of the cars. In this series of photos, Aedhan shows GrandNan the "cahs".

Reading Aedhan

The one thing I love about Aedhan is that he loves to read books. This is definitely a trait he gets from his father. I hope as he gets older his love of reading grows. These are photo's of Aedhan sitting in Grandpa Tom's chair and reading.

The Cousin's Together

While the grown-ups watched a movie upstairs, Paul took the kids downstairs so they could be loud and get out all their energy. They put the bean bag chairs together and were jumping on them. Before they went downstairs, Johnny and Aedhan were messing around in the kitchen.

Peace!!!
